Koch, Cotter named 2017 Most Valuable Players


NEW CARLISLE- Throughout the week, the Old Republic Wiffleball League has announced the 2017 season award winners. Today we conclude with the announcement of the 2017 Most Valuable Players.

Jet City's Tony Koch was named the American League MVP while Olive Township's Aidan Cotter takes home the National League honors.

One of the more experienced players in the league Tony Koch takes home a well deserved AL MVP after blasting out 72 Home Runs while leading the charge over in Jet City. Despite manager Nate Arndt struggling with injury problems, Koch was able to lead Jet City to a 2nd consecutive AL West Division title.

Koch had a dominant season as he had a legitimate shot to win the Triple Crown for a couple of weeks. Normally a contact hitter, Koch transformed his power game to the next level as he was the only player to hit for 70+ Home Runs as no other player even reached the 60 Home Run mar
